To solve my "copying file" issue, I can certainly have a file{} type like
this:
file { 'running_oss':
> name => '/home/admin/OSs.txt',
> mode => '0644',
> content => file('/home/admin/OSs.txt');
> }

to copy the file from the Master to the agent, but as "Retrieving plugin" stuff
happens way before anything else, the file is not copied prior to the
custom fact. So, I need to run puppet twice to get the custom fact working
on a freshly installed agent.
